George Garland (1900–1978) was a photographer known for his images of rural crafts and craftsmen taken in rural West Sussex. He was born in Brighton and attended Midhurst Grammar School, working for a short time in a bank in Hampshire before returning to Petworth in about 1922 to become a photographer. At a time when demand for studio portraits was declining, he specialised in photographs of rustic characters, hunting scenes and farming landscapes for newspapers and periodicals, mostly taken around Petworth or Amberley. Apart from portraits of notable personalities such as the artist Ivon Hitchens, his practice included also reproductions of artwork.

"It was in his awareness of what was passing and what was transient that his genius lay. He captured on glass the varied but threatened world of the old ways of agriculture, or the dying rustic crafts or the now extinct breed of Sussex characters." (en)
